Italian term or phrase: chiusura individuale
Sociology study on the corporatization of hospitals:

L'agire si incardina così sempre più a livello individuale, come forma estrema di resistenza ad un sistema tecnico-amministrativo che viene percepito come oppressivo e ridondante. La chiusura individuale conduce inevitabilmente al deterioramento delle interazioni collaborative, le quali non scompaiono dall'orizzonte di senso dei professionisti ma divengono sempre più fragili, occasionali e quasi estemporanee.

I'm not sure how to express "chiusura individuale" here. The term chiusura also comes up later in "chiusura relazionale", which has been translated previously in Kudoz as "relational closure". I'm not convinced by this. Thanks for any help.

Explanation:
Just a suggestion. I think you need a term that suggests "closing-off" rather than "closure". "Relational isolation" should also work.

personal isolation


Explanation:
I agree with Yarri that "closure" here is not quite right, but I would prefer "personal" because it emphasizes that the person chooses to isolate him/herself
